And you ^[a]were ^(a)dead ^[b]in your trespasses and sins,

in which you ^(b)formerly walked according to the ^[c]course of ^(c)this world, according to ^(d)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(e)the sons of disobedience.

Among them we too all ^(f)formerly lived in ^(g)the lusts of our flesh, ^[d]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[e]mind, and were ^(h)by nature ⁽ⁱ⁾children of wrath, ^(j)even as the rest.

But God, being ^(k)rich in mercy, because of ^(l)His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were ^(m)dead ^[f]in our transgressions, made us alive together ^[g]with Christ (⁽ⁿ⁾by grace you have been saved),

and ^(o)raised us up with Him, and ^(p)seated us with Him in ^(q)the heavenly places in ^(r)Christ Jesus,

so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing ^(s)riches of His grace in ^(t)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For ^(u)by grace you have been saved ^(v)through faith; and ^[h]that not of yourselves, it is ^(w)the gift of God;

^(x)not as a result of works, so that ^(y)no one may boast.

For we are His workmanship, ^(z)created in ^(aa)Christ Jesus for ^(ab)good works, which God ^(ac)prepared beforehand so that we would ^(ad)walk in them.
